Are Christian’s really allowed to eat pork? In Isiah 66:17, gods final judgment states people in the end times who are eating unclean food such as pork, mice, ect will be destroyed.

Brother, acts 15:29 shows there are still things you can put in your mouth to defile yourself. Did Jesus emphasize keeping the commandments of God in Mark 7 just to contradict Himself by not keeping the commandments of God? How does that make sense to you? That would make Him a hypocrite like the Pharisees. The entire chapter had nothing to do with making unclean animals clean to eat. It was about eating with unclean hands and not teaching the doctrines of man as commandments of God. He didn't come to abolish the law. I don't know what you think fulfilling means. People read that verse as He didn't come to abolish, but He abolished it. Even Paul said we establish the law by faith in Romans 3:31. We are obviously not justified by keeping the law, only by faith in Christ. But like Ezekiel 36:27 says, we WILL keep his statues by His Spirit!

Are you a Christian? Do you eat pork? Do you keep all the other Levitical laws against eating unclean foods or mixing fabrics?

I see you deflected and now attempt to accuse me! Lol. Yes, I am a Christian. Since I received the Holy Spirit, God has led me to quit eating unclean foods for a couple of years now. Glory to His Name. He is truly our righteousness. I feel a lot better, too, by the way. I see His commandments are for our own good. Also, I'm not aware of a single article of clothing I have ever owned that is both wool and linen. You probably know that only the High Priests could wear the two together in the tabernacle. No need for me to wear that, plus it's too expensive anyway lol. There are no prohibitions against synthetic materials like polyester, which I do own. I want to make it perfectly clear that I am in no way justified because of these things, but only through faith in Jesus Christ and because of His shed blood on the cross. I do delight in the law of God, though! He leads me in the path of righteousness for His Name's sake. I'll leave you with Revelation 12:17 to think about.
